Sandy Springs will formally open in April its newest park, the Abernathy Greenway South Trail Park.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for 4 p.m., April 13, for the new park at Abernathy and Wright roads. The South Trail Park will offer a slate chip walking trail, landscaping, benches, bike racks and pet waste stations. It is across from the Abernathy Greenway Park, a 6.6-acre linear park that opened in 2014.

“The Abernathy Greenway and its surrounding green spaces and trails are an example of what is possible when community and civic leaders work together with a common vision,” said Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul.

All Sandy Springs parks are open from sunup to sundown, except for parks with athletic fields and programming. Information: https://bit.ly/2szuor6
